FICTITIOUS TIMELINE
25October 18, 1977 Dates20th Century: 70sEvents

October 18, 1977
Adult film star Misty Mountains dies in automobile accident. Radio in Healy's apartment on October 26: Good morning, Los Angeles. Today, yet another stage-two smog alert. The A.Q.M.D. has cautioned residents not to stay outside or engage in unnecessary exercise before 6:00 p.m. In other news, a police spokesman says he has not ruled out foul play in the death of adult film star Misty Mountains, whose car went off-road in the early hours of last Tuesday. And now back to America's favourite family, The Waltons.



26October 20, 1977 Dates20th Century: 70sEvents

October 20, 1977
Adult film actress Misty Mountains' aunt Mrs. Glenn claims she saw Misty at her house two days after the accident that killed her: I saw her through the front window... Clear as day. She was writing something and then she came out and she drove away and this was two days after the accident.



27October 26, 1977 Dates20th Century: 70sEvents

October 26, 1977
Amelia pays Healy to scare off March, who has been hired to find Misty Mountains. Healy breaks March's arm. That night, Blueface and Older Guy show up at Healy's apartment. Date visible on Healy's Word of the Day calendar, a nod to the film Better Luck Tomorrow, in which a character looks at the same word - "equanimity".



28October 27, 1977 Dates20th Century: 70sEvents

October 27, 1977
Fearing for her safety, Healy visits March at the bowling alley where his daughter's having a birthday party and they agree to team up to find her. Their investigation leads them to adult film producer Sid Shattuck's house party.



29October 28, 1977 Dates20th Century: 70sEvents

October 28, 1977
Healy and March track Amelia to the Burbank Airport Western Hotel. John Boy finds Amelia and shoots and kills her. Healy and March get arrested. March: Your note, look at it. It's not a flight. Every airport has an overflight curfew from 10:00 to 6:00, Burbank included. And that top number is today's date but reversed like the European way, which makes sense when you look at FLT and you think it's not "flight," it's probably "flat," like apartment.



30October 29, 1977 Dates20th Century: 70sEvents

October 29, 1977
Healy and March attend the Pacific Coast Auto Show, where Healy spares hit man John Boy's life at March's daughter's request, and March fights with Older Guy before falling off the roof of the hotel and securing the film.
